About OFF
The story behind the Onne Food Festival
Our Story
The Onne Food Festival (OFF) was born from a simple yet powerful idea — to bring the community of Onne together through the universal love of food. Onne, located in Rivers State, Nigeria, is a vibrant town with a rich culinary heritage that deserves to be celebrated.
What started as a local gathering has grown into a platform where talented cooks, chefs, and food entrepreneurs can showcase their craft. OFF is more than just a food festival; it's a celebration of culture, community, and the delicious flavours that define us.
We believe that food has the power to connect people, tell stories, and create lasting memories. Every dish at OFF carries a piece of our heritage, and every vendor brings their passion to the table.
Our Mission
To create a vibrant platform that celebrates Onne's food culture, supports local food entrepreneurs, and brings the community together through memorable culinary experiences.
Our Vision
To make the Onne Food Festival a nationally recognised event that puts Onne on the map as a destination for food lovers and cultural enthusiasts from across Nigeria.
